A big following doesn't mean a good show. Xena and Hercules were horrible.

But Jack of All Trades RULED!!!!... I'm trying not to be sarcastic... I enjoyed the show, it's just so hard to be taken seriously when I say that.

Speaking of which, how big is Bruce's cameo?

That's true, but Xena ran for something like 5 or 6 years and Hercules was a shade under that.

Even if they were on the WB or UPN or whatever, that's still a pretty good run.

And a cult following doesn't mean a bad show.

Wow. I guess I'll file that under "in your opinion".

Obviously quite the matter of opinion and a stupid thing to argue about. How about we go back to Spider-Man reviews

If none of the three Lord of the Rings movies can get a perfect 100%, Spider-Man 2 will not either.

Does this include For the Love of the Game and Quick and the Dead?

So Spiderman was a "great" movie? I must've not gotten the memo ....

I'm glad that SM2 is no longer 100% fresh. Now if only it would drop below 50%

In the words of They Might Be Giants, au contraire, Delano!

If you actually take the time to read the three "negative" reviews, they are aren't actually negative reviews.

Two of them actually call the movie good, but not great, giving it C+ and 3-star ratings. The third, from the Village Voice, doesn't care for the angst angle, and dislikes the the first half, but implies that the action is good and the typical Raimi humor is at hand. The review never makes a declaration about the film as a whole, so I"m guessing it would fall in the 3-star/c+ range as well.

Since I've seen RT give similar-style reviews for other movies a designation as "Fresh," I'm not sure how to construe this.

Seems to me they were giving anything less than a rave a Rotten review.

Because of LOTR isn't perfect, nothing can be.

They just added a fourth "rotten" review, this time 2.5 out of four stars, which is an average review. Says it could lose a middle 30 minutesbut its still solid entertainment

Again, not great, but good.

Still waiting on a slam of the movie, or at least one that is more negative than positive.

I don't believe any of the LotR films even got 100%. Close...but theres always a few critics that dislike movies.

Everyone doesn't have to like it...
The only movie I can think of that got 100% was Spirited Away. Now, if any movie deserved it, that was it.

0%, however - there are a TON of movies. Master of Disguise, Pinnochio, Pluto Nash. . . .

Spirited Away did NOT achieve 100% - after a while, it managed 3 or 4 negative reviews, including one retraction.

There is a full list of movies that scored 100% on the site, the closest "wide release" movie as of late was Finding Nemo with 2 negative review.

The highest rated movie is 'Toy Story 2'
